This is a very good point. By design, we don’t know who owns what Safecoin or indeed what data.

While you could attempt to fork the network, there are limits of what can usefully be achieved by doing it. Unless you manage to convince everyone to completely abandon the old network and everything on it.

Tbh, if safe net got to the point where the above was required, it would probably be better to just create a new network and try to persuade people to use it instead. It would save the splits and acrimony.

Yup. Okiedoke. The contribution I would like to make is that there is absolutely no “genesis” block and trying to understand safe through block chain technology will never get you in the right lens of understanding safenetwork.

The assumption that the safe network can be relaunched and reassign coins to proper order comes from an incomplete understanding of the senario of which that mechanism comes into play.

That mechanism that is being refered to only comes into play during a complete total and massive loss of network nodes and it’s not a relaunch or reassignment of coins at all. Not even in the slightest. It’s not a “rollback” or a “transaction” reversal of any kind.

And for me it’s feels intentionally deceptive to be aware of this mechanism and to attempt to frame it in the context of this discussion in such a twisted way. that’s why I mocked you. If you did not understand the mechanism then I sincerely apologize and would invite you to revisit the mechanism you were referring to.

I honestly think a lot of crypto investors don’t understand market caps. People too-often seem to just buy whatever is hot/rising, without considering market cap. Not sure how else you explain the market cap of MAID, FCT, XCP, etc—esp when considering the seriously bloated market caps of certain other coins whose value prop is waaaay less. But what’s that saying? … Time will tell.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) today awarded $199,000 to Factom Inc. based in Austin, Texas, to advance the security of digital identity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

I think factom was + ~3000% The main difference here would be the additional 19 million coins that are being added to the curculation, Although considering there’s already 400mil in circulation already, I don’t think these extra coins will make that much of a difference. Personally I’m betting on a ~1500% increase, which would be nice for my investment purposes, but it should also put the limlight on the project itself, which also a bonus.

Here’s my line of thinking we may see maidsafe go up 100-3,000% and if China delivers we’ll see another huge boost as the market in America and Europe respond to the Chinese buyin with another huge boost.

Here’s how I figure: right now the maidsafe price is being held down by a team who has been shorting the market if your not aware of this let me know and I’ll show you how I exposed MarcelV and his team who have been using an unsecure (they thought it was private) slack to cordinate their shorts.

China will buy in and the US and Europe will wake up to what the maidsafe project is and how far it has come will chase the Chinese up and down the order book.

The price will go up and development will go faster as MAIDSAFE is better able to fund itself and at that point I will sell.

I didnt know about the team that were shorting it tbh, But I did notice that everytime there’s been a developer update and the price has risen, It’s always been driven straight back down again. The first time I noticed this was around about the time that the first test nets were released. This makes a lot of sense now.

Iv heard a lot of speculation for MAID over the past weeks, and there seems to be a lot of people who belive that each coin will eventually be worth hundreds. I was planning on just holding what Iv got tbh, Havnt even thought about when I plan on selling.

Another step forward, this has been a while coming and Nick worked hard to make this happen over the last few weeks. It's another part of a few steps we are making just now, but an important one. Welcome to all the Chinese folks here, I hope this helps.
